The starting point of my work is a challenge to my subconscious, memory, habits, and assumptions. I observe all the mistakes, incidents, failures, slips of tong and translation shifts. I track repetitions, uneasy situations or just comportments in my everyday life. I try to understand how situations build up. By suggesting different trajectories, I aim to reveal how culture shapes our reacting to social or intimate situations.
Another important part of my research is how computer can sometimes defy these usual reactions by imposing its own.
This process can be seen especially in my photography installation "Extrait", the "Temp/" video series or the dyslexic texts generators.
For example, "Temp/" questions how computers change human behaviour by modifying (and adding to) its memory.
By simply breaking a glass and immediately thinking "Ctrl + z" (the computer shortcuts which undo the last action), I realised how keyboard shortcuts are part of my life, how the "Ctrl+Z" is burnt into my memory as it is into my computer's.
I thus created a text based video narrative using those shortcuts: I related the story of a relationship, from the beginning to the end, from Ctrl + N (new) to Ctrl + Q (quit).

I work with text, which I use as images to enforce new rhythm, space and way of seeing, transforming the viewer into a reader, and the reader into a viewer.
I often make a parallel between text and programming: therefore producing interactive and generative narration (gen-narrative) with loop, randomness and variation, and exploring how code and message are linked on the projection surface that is the screen.
